​​I'm a Senior Research Fellow at the Bios Centre and & an associate lecturer at the University of Notre Dame based in London at their Global Gateway program. Before that I was lecturer in logic at the Univeristy of Glasgow and have previously held postions in Edinburgh and Stirling. My current research is mainly focused on abstraction principles, the work of Fergus Kerr, AI & the philosophy of mind/computation. My PhD is in the history of analytic philosophy, in particular the philosophy of mathematics of David Hilbert and neo-Fregean Logicism. I received my PhD in philosophy from the University of Cambridge, my MPhil in philosophy from the University St Andrews & the University of Stirling and my BSc in mathematics & philosophy from the University of Glasgow. Often mistaken for John Milton.

Abstraction’s might a boon is found,
While man does keep it tamed and bound;
Awful its heav’nly powers become,
When that its stops and stays are gone.
                                       

         - Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege
